Good question. I think if they were big ENOUGH, each would let the others do their individual presentations before the crowd, and would then stand up and do his or her own - like the presenters at an awards ceremony or individual comics at a celebrity roast. I do NOT think there would be any question of - or any necessity for - all of them to agree on method and execution, so long as they were all aligned as to goal.

That's a good idea! To take turns. In my question, I was envisioning the traditional "circle" format, where, of course, there are leaders and followers. I like your idea better.

I realized that you had postulated an "irresistible force meeting an immovable object" scenario, which would be almost guaranteed in the circle format if leaders from different traditions were asked to come to some sort of consensus. The reason I said they'd have to be big ENOUGH to take turns, was because of egos and insecurity; it takes experienced, expansive hearts to humbly set egos aside and trust that each person's inspiration will contribute to the whole.
